22021949--11 Text of the Letter dated 22 February 1949 from the Chairman of the Commission Mr. Huddle addressed to the Secretary-General, Ministry of External Affairs and Commonwealth Relations, Government of India, and to the High Commissioner for Pakistan in India (UN Document No. S/AC. 12/134)

I have the honour to inform you that the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan has decided, in order that rapid progress may be made with the elaboration of the truce agreement under part II of the Commission's resolution of 13 August 1948, to set up a Sub-Committee composed of representatives of Colombia and of the United States to work in conjunction with the Commission's Military Adviser. This Sub-Committee will, through the Military Adviser, take steps to meet with military representatives of the Indian and Pakistan Governments to participate with them in the preparation of the truce agreement.

The Commission deems it necessary to continue for some time to hold its meetings in New Delhi, and as the Commission should be able to contact the Sub-Committee at any time, it is considered that the Sub-Committee should likewise meet in New Delhi.

I would be grateful if you would be kind enough to inform your Government of the above.

(Signed) J. Klahr Huddle

Chairman
